How do you begin again?

I realized, when I read our blog for the first time in over a year, how important it is to document our family history. I had no idea how much I would value what I had done. I even found myself emotional about some of the memories. We had photos and thoughts about events in our life that told our little families story. It made me excited to recommit my self to begin again. My excitement quickly turned to a bit of anxiety. It can feel daunting to begin again, more so for me than just doing something new. I question how to start. Do I try to catch up? Do I just forget the last year and start here today? Life is like that in so many ways. Sometimes my yoga clients will miss a few weeks and then feel like they can't come back. They will feel like they have been away from their practice for too long to start again. Of course my response to that is: You are exactly where you need to be. Just greet your mat with a smile breathe and begin. So here is to new beginnings. To an opportunity to sit and write about this miracle that surrounds me every day. Here is to the five of us! And so I breathe, smile. greet my computer and begin.
